Interesting note that will probably start a fight, I wondered if Kami's
selective deafness might be due to wax build-up. I couldn't really see
anything, but thought "couldn't hurt." There were three or four
different preparations labeled for both cats and dogs with different
ingredients. I opted for the "carbamide peroxide in a stable glycerin
solution," but I have to say that one of the other had propylene glycol
in it.

Kami wasn't too keen on the procedure and I wound up wearing quite a
bit of the stuff I purchased. She got more all over herself than I
would have hoped, and I cleaned her up as much as I could and let her
do the rest with no ill effects. Made me think about her grooming
after using one of the other solutions. Hmmm...

Anyway, ears look clean as a whistle.

I don't know if cat's ear tissue is as delicate or more delicate
than human ear tissue. I would suggest being careful because the
skin inside of an ear is more delicate and can be damaged more
easily. That might not have to do with your procedure, just
general information.

Sometimes I put thumb and middle finger around the outside base of
Kiki's ear and gently massage it.

Good luck.

That is called trolling.

That's because the low-life has nothing important to say....

Good work. Just an anecdotal story, but when Shadow was alive, he had
the worst gunky ears. Other than the IBD, his ears were the next top
reason he had to go to the vet because sometimes the gunk would ooze
out. He even had polyps that needed removing once. One of the
supplements I regularly gave him was B complex. Again, anecdotal, but
once he was on a regular dose of it, his ears never bothered him
again.

Well, part of this was about possible dirty ears being cause for
"deafness," and the other was about one of the product containing PG
and considering how much Kami had to clean off herself. I found it
interesting that a product labeled for cats that would have much
more ingestable PG as a result of using it than a baby wipe *would*
actually be labeled for cats. I would like to see a definitive
study from a real vet (not a wannabe) that indicates at what point
it becomes toxic. Like the one I finally found about onions that
made this group sound like Henny Penny. ;)

But in the end, ears are clean, still thinking deafness is
selective.

Doesn't take much to interest you... unless it has a hole in the tip...

Try shoving a gallon jug of it up your a.s and find out -- it would fit
without even touching touching the rim.

You didn't find anything. You only made yourself look like the walking
a.shole that you are.

Yeah, you're cat probably doesn't want to hear your bullshit either.

Stick to dicks and leave the pussy cats alone.
